I've stayed in this hotel in April 2012. When for a Real Estate Convention, so was mainly for seminars and meetings. My room was in a side building so had to walk a bit to get there. Hotel is nice, with ok decoration. Room was clean and new. Food as ok for a 5 start but nothing amazing, usual resort... More

Not The Best, Not The Worst. Room we had was huge, modern and clean. The Beach is across the street and over a large steep sand hill/forest walk path. (Buggies Beware!) The air condition is only turned in May by the front desk IF THEY SEE FIT. In May its quite warm and windows must be closed due to mosquitos.... More

We stayed at this hotel in February for ten days. It really was a lovely hotel, The bedroom was large and the bed could have accommodated 6 people. The pool area was very good, with plenty of beds. Cleanliness was great in all main areas and the rooms were cleaned every day to a high standard with fresh clean towels.... More

This place would be OK positioned as a cheap and cheerful family holiday destination. Instead it pretends to be a 'spa resort' and that certainly it is not. The access is not particularly easy (we had a 90mins ride from Faro) so it'd be more suited for long stays. The facilities are average: the rooms are OK and comfortable but... More

Stayed here for 5 days for work. My room was very poor. It smelled of backed up sewage almost constantly. Sometimes the plumbing would smell heavily of chlorine. Had to call facilities to fix toilet. Loud every night from event in next building. I can't imagine how loud it would be in season. Basic amenities like bottle opener and clock... More

Stayed here for 3 days in Feb 2012 as part of a suppliers sales conference. It is a HUGE hotel! It took me 10 minutes to walk from reception to my room. The room and the corridoors were freezing with no adequate means of heating it and only one cotton sheet and one blanket on the bed so barely slept... More

In September 2011 my husband and I visited the Barcelo Punto Umbria with Saga Holidays. I had a bad fall outside the front of the hotel due entirely to the lack of lighting. I sustained a broken little finger, deep bruising and cut to my right arm and a cut to the bridge of my nose. Neither the hotel nor... More

This is a review of the Barcelo Punta Umbria Hotel, not of the Barcelo Punta Umbria Beach Resort. The former is a self-contained part of the latter (which is across the dual carriageway and not on the beach). This 500-bedroom hotel has been built alongside the huge sandy beach a mile or so outside the small town of Punta Umbria.... More

The SAGA review says "Stay and Relax Classic" but be aware, things change within a day. Last year my wife and I stayed at the hotel and enjoyed every moment, the hotel setting and services and the other guests made the holiday relaxing and memorable for the right reasons. On the basis of satisfaction we re booked for the same... More
